Chapter 720: Subtle Influence

From Zhang Ying, Jiang Yang learned that she and the goldsmith had known each other since her senior year of high school.

At that time, she had just become an adult and went to a bar with friends she met in society to seek excitement, and met him for the first time.

"At that time, I just wanted to experience the pleasure of being an adult. He was very handsome and I fell in love with him at first sight. But I didn't take it seriously. After all, bars are places for fun, where there is no real love."

"I went home with him that night. After that, we exchanged contact information and made appointments whenever we had something to do. Until this year, anyway, it has never stopped."

Zhang Ying disagreed.

"As for how to get into the customer base, I like real gold and silver jewelry. Brother Xu, that man, happens to be in this business. When I first started dating Brother Xu, he was an apprentice."

"Over the years, he has already opened his own shop. And he has stores in several cities, and his business is quite prosperous. I go to him for gold and silver jewelry."

"We are all old acquaintances, and I will also help him promote something. I first noticed Tian Xiaoyang when he asked some questions when I was advertising for Brother Xu."

Zhang Ying recalled: "I thought he was super handsome when I saw the profile picture. And he looked young, which is my type."

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and asked coldly: "Such an important thing, why didn't you say it? In the past six years, the police have asked you to take a statement many times. If you had told the truth once, the case would not have been delayed so long."

Zhang Ying's actions were not enough to rise to criminal offenses, but they were very shameful.

"Ah? What's so important about this? Isn't it just me meeting someone? I'm meeting so many men. Do you police officers have to get to know each one of them?"

"Brother Xu's customer base was pulled in through social software, and now it has been disbanded and replaced with mobile phones. What's the big deal!"

After listening to her, Jiang Yang said coldly: "Whether it is useful or not, what is the use, these are not things you need to consider. You don't need to judge, all you have to do is answer every question of the police honestly, and the rest is not what you should think about."

A man who has been with Zhang Ying for six years, knows her life better, and is a goldsmith by profession.

And he has shops in several cities...

All these things together have confirmed that the number one suspect must be him.

After leaving the detention room, Jiang Yang immediately retrieved the other party's detailed information.

"Gao Xujia, 34 years old, a native of Tongling City, Guizhou Province. At the age of 14, he was sent to a juvenile detention center for intentional injury and was detained for two years. After he was released, he dropped out of school and became an apprentice."

"At first, he worked as a kitchen helper. Within two years, he slept with the boss's daughter. After being driven away, he sneaked back and found that she had a boyfriend."

"He was detained in a detention room for fifteen days for breaking someone's head and was fined one thousand."

Jiang Yang read all the way, Gao Xujia's life was just like a martial arts movie, fighting with people at every turn.

No one was killed every time, but the incidents were bigger and bigger.

He had just been released from prison before he met Zhang Ying.

"Nine years ago, I treated someone as a serious injury and was sentenced to four years and six months. I was released one year and eight months early for good behavior in prison."

The above is Gao Xujia's resume.

After being released from prison, with the help of police officers and street community volunteers, he successfully became a master of a time-honored goldsmith shop.

Gao Xujia has outstanding skills and has accumulated a group of loyal customers in less than half a year.

During this period, he had been earning money honestly without any negative behavior.

Therefore, the police station and the community cancelled the surveillance on him after two years.

After reading the files, everyone became more suspicious of him.

"Check where Gao Xujia was in early September this year."

Jiang Yang frowned and said, "The time interval between the previous three cases was a bit long, so it was not easy to start. But it was less than half a month after Tian Xiaoyang's death, so it was relatively simple to find out."

The Haicheng criminal police nodded and immediately contacted the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau and the transportation department to retrieve relevant records.

Gao Jianmu looked grim.

He never thought that the suspect was so close to him, but he was always confused by Zhang Ying and did not find Gao Xujia.

"It's not your problem."

Jiang Yang keenly noticed his thoughts and told the truth: "Zhang Ying concealed the key clues, so no one started with her hookup partner."

In Zhang Ying's transcript, she did not mention that she had a long-term partner, but only admitted that her private life was chaotic. Coincidentally, every time she met Gao Xujia, it was basically in the man's shop.

Gao Xujia would turn off the surveillance in advance and give the clerk a few days off.

When the police investigate, they will give priority to pulling room booking records and traffic records from major hotels.

These two happened to be evaded by Gao Xujia intentionally or unintentionally, causing the investigation of the case to fall into a blind spot.

If Jiang Yang hadn't found that Tian Xiaoyang and Zhang Ying were both Gao Xujia's customers, I'm afraid this case would have been a long time to deal with.

The above information was just confessed by Zhang Ying in the detention room, and she had never revealed it before.

What is more easily overlooked is that Gao Xujia has been running around in gold shops in different cities for many years.

There are his own and those of his peers.

It is also a troublesome thing to investigate in the middle.

Gao Jianmu scratched his head irritably and was very angry.

"Damn! Is she sick? Isn't Zhang Ying worried that she will be the next to die? People she knows around her died one after another, and all the evidence points to her."

"Is there water in her head?"

Speaking of this, Gao Jianmu suddenly raised his head, "I say, that woman is not Gao Xujia's accomplice, right?"

"No."

Jiang Yang was helpless. Zhang Ying was just a white dot in the crime radar.

Her behavior was very bad, but it was indeed a little short of criminal offense.

"Why?"

Gao Jianmu raised his voice.

He didn't dare to believe Zhang Ying's words at all.

"There is no motive for committing a crime," Jiang Yang replied: "She has no entanglement with all the dead. Zhang Ying's confession has a big problem, and there is a behavior of concealing and not reporting. But it does not mean that she is the criminal. It is more likely to be Gao Xujia."

Gao Jianmu, who was overwhelmed by anger, gradually calmed down in Jiang Yang's gentle voice.

"Damn, I was almost mad at that woman!"

"It's okay, everyone has a temper."

Jiang Yang patted his shoulder and comforted Gao Jianmu.

"To be honest, I'm also very angry," Zeng Gaojie crossed his arms and frowned, "I have never seen such a person. It is possible to lie once or twice, but how can someone lie for six years? Doesn't she realize the seriousness of the matter?"

"Zhang Ying's cognition stays on self-protection. As long as she thinks that something is relatively dangerous, she will subconsciously block it. This is actually a psychological conditioned reflex, and it is very likely that she herself is not aware of it."

"Over time, Zhang Ying has gradually believed that what she said is correct."

Jiang Yang thought about it and explained seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhu ran into the office, "The suspect is currently in Haicheng City! He arrived a month ago and lives in an old house in the suburbs."
